Erase Her lyrics
by Melanie Martinez
[Verse 1]
She had been taken away from her family
Away from the only place that she had felt safe in
Away from the ones she loved
Inside a basement, he watches her moves and her pacing
She tries to find a door to escape him
But she can't find any doors
[Pre-Chorus]
Who cares if she don't look like you?
Karma will come back to eat you
Why does she have to be white to
Be seen as a f*cking equal?
[Chorus]
You erase her
The radio, news, and thе paper
You say, you say, "Maybe later"
Wеll, later's too late
Go f*cking save her
[Post-Chorus]
Erase her, erase her
[Verse 2]
She hears him walking
She's praying the police come knocking
Assuming that they're all already plotting
To save her from dying young
[Pre-Chorus]
Put her on the television
Don't let all these girls stay missing
Stop picking your favorite faces
This ain't no casting submission
[Chorus]
You erase her
The radio, news, and the paper
You say, you say, "Maybe later"
Well, later's too late
Go f*cking save her
[Bridge]
She's crying, I wish I could pull her out of the man's house
But I'm just me, I'm no police
I'm not qualified to go searching
But I would be if I were in your shoes
[Chorus]
But you erase her
The radio, news, and the paper
You say, you say, "Maybe later"
Well, later's too late
Go f*cking save her
You erase her
The radio, news, and the paper
You say, you say, "Maybe later"
Well, later's too late
Go f*cking save her
[Post-Chorus]
Erase her, erase her
Erase her, erase her
